Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Biblical and Theological Dictionary A'bel, or he'bel, grief or mourning, the second son of Adam, a shepherd. At the end of days, that is, on the Sabbath, or at the beginning of the year, he offered unto God the best of his flock, which pleased the Almighty, as according with his appoint ment, and indicating faith in the sacrifice that was to be offered, Heb. 11: 4. He marked his ap probation by seme visible token, probably consuming the sacrifice by fire, as 1 Kings 18: 38. No such honor being done to Cain, he hated Abel, and rested not till he slew him in the field. The blood of Abel, Heb. 12 24, means, not the blood of his person shed by Cain, but that of his sacrifices, put by metonymy for the blood of sacrifices generally, which spoke good things, but Christ's blood speaks better.
